Also i had an orchidectomy to one testicle years ago and still have one left would this still work for me.
Search Fufu Clip on REddit and you'll find their subreddit, it has FAQ and videos about how to fit them. Sizing, I don't know other than trying them out.
I got my lab results today and this makes so little sense... Here's the results compared to previous ones:
26.1.2023
E2 1.2 nmol/l 326 pg/ml
T 0.8 nmol/l 23 ng/dl
Prol 1398 mU/l 65.7 ng/dl
7.11.2023
E2 1.1 nmol/l 299.6 pg/ml
T 1.2 nmol/l 34.5 ng/dl
Prol 528 mU/l 24.8 ng/dl
I really don't get it, how can my prolactin be this low and I'm lactating? I have been a bit drier for the last week or so, but milking every single day and yet my prolactin level is so low that I'm not supposed to be even able to lactate at this level. It should be around at least 50 ng/ml but its half of that and below the limit where its supposed to happen. I'm totally at loss on how this works?
So conclusions about lactation so far: I'm able to easily elevate my prolactin levels, they appear to naturally rise with minimal effort. I'm somehow capable of lactating on much lower than normal levels required for it which makes me suspect a high natural tendency for this and likely high sensitivity to prolactin. Pushing my levels way above lower normal limit of lactation is difficult, so far I have not found a way to do that, but it appears I don't need to? This is very surprising, I was expecting higher levels than in January, not more than half lower! And yet my breasts are sore and milky and I have to keep pumping and milking by hand to empty them each day.
Another change I did a while back was crashing my progesterone. I'm thinking of stopping even the topical one to see what effect it might have, but before that I will add up pumping sessions once again as I got new Elvie pump to play with and I will start Milk Thistle and Ginseng again as they've ran out. It seems that moringa and shatavari may not be as useful for lactation aid as the others. I'll update on this as soon as things are changing again.
